• Youngsters learn cricket skills with Hustle

Access Tools

Thirty young people from across Knowsley attended a two day coaching camp at Whitefield Cricket Club to brush up on their cricket skills.

The camp, funded by Knowsley Council’s Summer Hustle Programme, is part of the council’s new approach to make sure that children and young people have plenty to do during the school holidays.

Two fully qualified English Cricket Board coaches ran the camp assisted by Majid Majeed, a first class Pakistani cricketer.

Majeed, who currently plays for Whitefield Cricket Club as well as for the Muldan region in his home country, is widely tipped to represent Pakistan in the near future.

“Magic Majid” worked alongside the coaches and was eager to pass on his skills to the enthusiastic young people who attended the camp during the two days.

Paul Dillon Smith from Knowsley Sports Development was delighted with the turn-out: “We have had a really successful year in terms of the numbers taking park in cricket, the input from local cricket clubs and the support from parents. We must work hard to ensure that further opportunities are made available to anyone interested in taking up the game”.

For more information or to express interest in taking up the game, contact Paul Dillon Smith on 0151 442 3111.
